THE VOLUNTEER AND THISTLE.

The race Of Friday was absolutely fair,
without advantage on either side, and a
decisive proof that the American modei
of a racing yacht is better than the Eng
lish model. We have pointed out re-
peatedly that the English model had
been somewhat modified in the Thistle,
while the Volunteer was a slightly modi-
fed sloop.
The main distinctive features OF the
two boats, however, have again been
tried. with the same result as in other
matches.
The Thistle is far better than the best
the English had when the Galatea and
Genesta challenged. That best was the
Irex. and the Thistle is better than the
Irex by a quarter of an hour in forty
miles. Now comes out the Thistle, and
is beaten. in a beat Of twenty miles, this
same bad quarter Of an hour That is 10
saw. a boat must be built that is half am
hour better than the best Of the normal
type of British cutters in order to render
her challenge for the Americas cup an
act as prudent as it is courageous.
The improvement in the capacity Oh
the racing sloop is best marked by the
simple fact that the Volunteer is the only
boat that could have beat the Thistle
and if the latter stays to make trials viii
other American sloops she will according
to her record be apt'to beat them all.
